Bleach 373

[liralen]

I love going through my flist and getting reminded, in spades, Oh New Chapter! Especially when it's good. *laughs*



I love the whole effect of Stark's release, and I really, really love how Rose says his isn't magical, it's ART.

Damnit, it's art.

I like Love a lot more now.

All right, who wants to bet that that's Shunsui in the last panel?

Or Ukitake... but... I'm not sure I want to hope THAT much.

I like the prevailing thought on capslock_bleach: Gin. He's the one with the blade designed specifically for long-distance attacks, and who knows why Gin does anything, aside from Gin?

(though the person who came up with Nanao-chan cracked me up!)

[liralen.livejournal.com]

LOL!

YES!! Nanao-chan to the rescue!!

Oh, I do love that.

*grins* That first thought helps me a lot as I'm trying to get into Gin mindset.

I think it's either Shun or Shinji. At first I thought Gin but it just doesn't make any sense.

[liralen.livejournal.com]

Oo... Shinji!! I do like how the Arrancar got good enough the Vizards had to come save everyone's butts... and I love Shinji far too much.

Yeah. Gin's shots are more like bullets anyway.

Damnit, now I can't remember where I saw it but someone went through the trouble to find an old panel where Gin stabs someone in the back and it was pretty much identical to the way it looked on Starrk.

So I dunno. I'm leaning towards Gin because of that and the fact he's completely unpredictable.

My other guess would be Shunsui. I'm sure he wants to finish the job.

And YES! I've so much love for Love and Rose! They've grown on me. Rose's mask and release are both wonderful.

[liralen.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh...

It would amuse me if it was Gin, especially with Matsumoto out of commission for the moment. *thoughtfuls*

I'd love it if it were Shunsui finally revealing his release, honestly.

I've always rather liked Love, but those gruff efficient types usually get me. *laughs* Rose seems too... pretty. *laughs*

I think it's Gin. The sword seems to be long and we don't see its hilt.

[liralen.livejournal.com]

Ah! *nods* Those fit...

[incandescens]

I'm betting on Shunsui or Ukitake. Fight honourably when it's a matter of honour... and fight to win when it's a matter this serious. :)

[liralen.livejournal.com]

*grins* I have to agree.

It it might well be Shunsui has something dark with the name of his zanpakutou... and I noticed that Stark and the Arrancar didn't hit in the back until Wonderweiss wandered in... then they went for the back of both Jyuushiro and Shunsui.

I'd like the... closure of it being one of them, I think. *grins*

This was a fun chapter. My Vizored love only grows the more we get to know them. Rose is hilarious. I'm eager to see some interaction between him and Shinji, actually.

As to who I think is the backstabber: As much as I LOVE Shinji and want him to be badass in every situation, I'm pretty sure he is focused 300% on Aizen (and/or whoever gets in-between himself and Aizen) right now. Shunsui is a better bet. Jyuushirou would be even more awesome. imo, if it hadn't been for Wonderweiss ruining the party, Starrk wouldn't have been much of a chore for those two...

[mei-yanohi.livejournal.com]

Although the Gin theory amuses me since it kind of supports my AU make-believe plotline of Gin actually being loyal to Shinji while deceiving Aizen. :P

[liralen.livejournal.com]

Yeah... my secret heart of hearts wants Gin to Make Good and Save Matsumoto, but... I don't think it's going to happen, sadly.

[incandescens]

Perhaps it's a very thin focused reiatsu blast from Jyuushirou's zanpakutou?

[liralen.livejournal.com]

Oooo... or how he reflected the force one of the hound's blasts? I dunno...

Definitely something to keep the interest... *laughs*

[liralen.livejournal.com]

A very fun chapter. I have to agree about the Vizored love... *happy sigh*

I really want to see Shinji and Aizen go at it, and yeah, I have to agree with your assessment on that score. Nicely done...

It would be fitting to have one of the backstabbed do the backstabbing. *grins*

[visualcomplex.livejournal.com]

*trembles* ROSE = ME, oh if I were a vaizard. He is my hero. Seriously!

[liralen.livejournal.com]

<3

I could see that. *laughs*

*dances about*

[annieroo2.livejournal.com]

I was actually shocked to see Stark skewered like that. I've started to actually like a bad guy and that rarely happens to me.

I was leaning towards Shinji, but spoilers this week are discounting that. I'd tell you, but then you might want to kill me, so... I'm just gonna slink away. XD

[liralen.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I do like Stark, but it seemed... appropriate, oddly enough, that he got backstabbed after he shot Shunsui in the back...

Thank you for not spoiling!! *dances*

[liralen.livejournal.com]

And I have to admit that I really, really like Stark.
